“…Over the past two decades, prevention has become a public health priority in mental health (Chen et al, 2014;Gillberg & Fernell, 2014;Holz et al, 2014;Roberts et al, 2014;Underwood, 2011;Waddekk, McEwan, Peters, Hua, & Garland, 2007). Prevention of behavioral disturbances associated with aging and dementia, however, receives little attention, even though they occur so frequently (Kunik et al, 2010).…”

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease are associated with behavioral symptoms that can be costly and troublesome to caregivers. Behavioral strategies to prevent aggression in people with dementia (PWDs) are necessary to decrease caregiver burden and relieve other behavioral disturbances in PWDs, such as depression. On the basis of their previous study that identified pain as a possible cause of aggression, the authors developed a behavioral in-home intervention designed to teach caregiver(s) how to recognize signs of pain and distress in PWDs. The authors present a description of the Preventing Aggression in Veterans with Dementia (PAVeD) intervention and illustrate its use and results with three case studies. Results indicate that this intervention may help prevent the development of aggression and pain in PWDs, reduce caregiver burden, and help manage other behavioral symptoms associated with dementia.

“…The findings also supported the hypothesis that the influence of trauma exposure on children varies by age. Children of incarcerated parents were more likely to experience stigma, bullying, and teasing because of their parent's imprisonment [18] [20]. The findings suggest that there is a need for programming focused on strengthening the parent-child 1-7.…”

“…Their findings suggest that it is critical to assess multiple, specific experiences children have that are related to their mother's incarceration in order to understand how these stressors impact psychological functioning. [20] Found that children with a history of exposure to arrest had greater impairments in internalizing and externalizing behaviors than those children without previous exposure to arrest. The findings also supported the hypothesis that the influence of trauma exposure on children varies by age.…”

As studies repeatedly show an increase in the rates of detainment among women, findings also indicate that maternal incarceration has been associated with inappropriate and inconsistent discipline, youth problem behaviors, and serious delinquency [10][16] [7]. Research has also illustrated that mother's incarceration is associated with instability among children, many of whom are less likely to complete their education and are more likely to be incarcerated themselves in later adulthood [12][18] [7]. High levels of delinquency among this group suggests that generational patterns of violence may exist among the youth who live in the homes of incarcerated mothers [12], and social interaction often defines how parental incarceration, family functioning, parenting strategies, and child adjustment might be correlated [10]. Maternal Incarceration and Problem BehaviorScholars similarly continue to illustrate an association between maternal incarceration and adverse outcomes for offspring. [16], for example, observed the growth in female incarceration to further understand the long-term consequences of imprisonment on children. Their research utilized data derived from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health to examine the impact maternal incarceration has on criminal justice involvement among young adults. The key findings demonstrated that maternal incarceration had a statistically significant effect on the children's adult involvement in the criminal justice system, which was measured by arrest, conviction, and incarceration [16].[10] Examined serious delinquency among youth and the associations between parental incarceration, family functioning, parental health, effective parenting, and youth problems. Adolescents who experienced parental incarceration during their childhood were more likely to experience family risk in the areas of social advantage, parent health, and effective parenting, as well as having higher levels of problem behavior across adolescence than those adolescents who did not experience parental incarceration.[12] Examined the relationship between children's behavioral outcomes and life events among incarcerated mothers. AbstractData for this study were drawn from quantitative analyses derived from secondary statistics from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), which is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States to examine the impact of maternal incarceration on emotional and behavioral outcomes among adolescents. It was hypothesized that maternal incarceration would increase the number of risk factors among adolescents including delinquency, victimization, emotional outcomes and drug usage. For this project, the survey data were analyzed on self-identified non-white (minority) participants reporting criminal justice involvement measured through lifetime arrest, age at first arrest, number of pre-18 arrests and number of post-18 arrests as behavioral outcomes. Measures of self-repo...

“…En un estudio reciente, Roberts et al (2014) encontraron problemas de inestabilidad emocional asociados a la detención y/o el encarcelamiento de uno de los familiares en menores expuestos a riesgo psicosocial. La incidencia de estas dificultades emocionales resultó estadísticamente significativa controlando variables como la edad, género, etnia, ingresos del hogar y nivel educativo del cuidador.…”

ResumenEste trabajo tiene como objetivo principal probar de forma preliminar el funcionamiento de un programa de intervención para mejorar las competencias emocionales en niños de entre 9 y 10 años en situación de riesgo de exclusión social. El programa se centra en la mejora de algunos componentes del conocimiento y la regulación emocional. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño pre-experimental de un solo grupo con pretest y postest (N=14). Los niños asistieron a las sesiones una vez por semana durante cuatro meses. Los resultados mostraron una mejora estadísticamente significativa en manejo de emociones, adaptabilidad e inestabilidad emocional, además de una utilización más efectiva de estrategias de regulación emocional. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre niños de familias españolas e inmigrantes. En la discusión se señala la utilidad de estos programas para prevenir problemas de salud mental en este tipo de población.AbstractThe aim of this work was to pilot the efficacy of an intervention programme to enhance emotional competences in children aged 9 and 10 living in poverty and risk of social exclusion. The programme focuses on specific components of emotion knowledge and emotion regulation. A one group pre-experimental design with pre and posttest measures was used (N = 14). Children attended weekly sessions during four months. Results showed a significant improvement in emotion managing, adaptability and emotional instability. Children also showed a more efficient use of emotion regulation strategies. No differences were found among Spanish children and children from other countries. In the discussion section we point out the convenience of this kind of programmes to prevent mental health problems in this population.
